Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Causes, Symptoms & Effective Treatment
What is Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)?
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) is a condition where patients continue to experience persistent pain after undergoing spine surgery. It can result from unsuccessful surgical outcomes, scar tissue formation, or nerve damage, leading to chronic pain and discomfort
Causes of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Several factors contribute to the development of FBSS, including:
- Residual or Recurrent Disc Herniation: Incomplete removal of herniated discs or re-herniation post-surgery
- Scar Tissue Formation: Fibrosis around nerve roots can cause irritation and pain.
- Nerve Damage: Nerves may sustain injury during surgery, leading to chronic neuropathic pain.
- Spinal Instability: Weakness or improper alignment of spinal structures.
- Incorrect Diagnosis: If the original pain source was misdiagnosed, surgery may not address the actual problem.
- Adjacent Segment Disease: Increased stress on spinal segments above or below the operated area can cause degeneration.
Symptoms of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
- Chronic Back or Leg Pain: Persistent pain despite surgery.
- Sharp, Burning, or Tingling Sensations: Indicating nerve involvement
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty in performing daily activities.
- Muscle Weakness: Weakness or numbness in the lower limbs.
- Depression & Anxiety: Emotional distress due to prolonged pain.
